Thirty Naxalites, including nine women, surrendered in Bijapur district, Chhattisgarh, with a collective bounty of Rs 79 lakh. This increase in surrenders, totaling 307 since January, stems from disillusionment with Maoist ideologies and the impact of state rehabilitation initiatives like Niyad Nellanar and Poona Margham, which promote peace and development in conflict areas. The surrendered Maoists received assistance and support for reintegration, reflecting the efficacy of government policies aimed at reducing violence and fostering stability in Naxal-affected regions. These efforts underscore India’s commitment to addressing internal security challenges through rehabilitation and community development.
